Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society and was established at the College of William and Mary in 1776. The
right to have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter is given to the faculty of an approved university and not to the university itself. Faculty at
Texas Tech University submitted applications to get a chapter in 1982, 1985, 1997 and 2000. Deficiencies noted in the rejection of
Tech's applications were addressed and a Phi Beta Kappa alumni association was chartered. Texas Tech faculty finally succeeded in
gaining charter approval in 2006, thus making Texas Tech one of only three public universities in the state of Texas granted the right
to host a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. The formal installation ceremonies were held at 4 p.m. on April 11, 2007, at the Allen Theatre on the
Texas Tech campus.
The collection consists of materials generated and gathered in the process of getting a Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Texas Tech
University. Includes background information, applications, site visit information, DVDs on the chapter installation at Tech, and vitas
on all TTU faculty and staff who are Phi Beta Kappa members.
